RE: The Gold that make me sappy
I appreciate you being active on here and giving us something on which to comment and vote.
I heard that one definition of death is that it means you no longer have impact or affect. Conversely, if something or someone still has affect, then they can't be dead. So when I see mementos I have from loved ones who have passed on, they're still alive because I remember them.
Though it sounds like the person who gave that to you is still alive, so that's even better!
It really makes sense to have family mementos, like gold jewelry or gold coins or almost anything durable, to pass on from one generation to another. I have many mementos from my parents, but it is the gold jewelry that I wear from my Mom that keeps her literally close to me, especially because she wore them.
